Empowering hazardous industries for a safer, more sustainable future
Ufi Ventures and Haatch invest in Chorus Training
Training systems in industries where safety is critical are struggling. As the energy transition accelerates, outdated and complicated processes leave workforces underprepared and businesses exposed to risk.
Many companies still rely on fragmented software, manual spreadsheets and outdated competency profiling that fails to reflect evolving skills needs. Training is often inefficient, generic and time-consuming, pulling workers from their roles without delivering meaningful, measurable outcomes.
With a changing energy future, unclear regulatory frameworks and growing skills shortages, the competency gap is increasing. There has never been a more urgent need for agile, integrated and scalable solutions.
Aberdeen-based Chorus is helping clients across the utilities, energy and infrastructure sectors tackle these challenges with a comprehensive, AI-enabled platform built specifically for industries with complex safety requirements. The solution streamlines the delivery of safety-critical training, ensures regulatory compliance and tracks employee competence, supporting both day-to-day operational safety and long-term workforce skills planning.
With industry-specific on-demand content and cost-effective delivery, Chorus is replacing fragmented systems with a simple unified solution – reducing workplace risk, saving time, enhancing performance and supporting the energy transition. Training content is developed in collaboration with industry partners ensuring that learning outcomes meet employers’ needs and regulatory commitments.
"We recognised that poor digital solutions were being further exposed by challenges of the energy transition, and we wanted to solve that problem. Ufi and Haatch are ideal partners for Chorus. Ufi are adding value immediately with their expertise in adult education, and Haatch with their strong track record in developing SaaS businesses, helping us scale at pace. The investment will enhance our software and content solutions, directly helping our customers and their workers cope with the challenges they have in their day–to–day operations, whilst supporting them to plan for an uncertain future."
- Iain Taylor, Co-founder of Chorus
The new £710k investment from Ufi Ventures and Haatch will allow Chorus to expand its learning content to supplement their software platform and grow their client base over the next 18 months.
Commenting on the investment, Alex Bishop, Associate Director of Ufi Ventures said:
"We are delighted to invest in Chorus Training, a company at the forefront of safety and compliance training in high-risk industries. As these industries navigate the complexities of the energy transition, Chorus's innovative training solutions are essential in equipping businesses and their employees with the skills and knowledge they need."
Scott Weavers-Wright, Co-founder & General Partner of Haatch said:
"Chorus is solving a real and urgent problem in industries where the stakes are high and the cost of failure is even higher. Their platform delivers exactly what's needed – intelligent, scalable training that's grounded in real-world operational challenges. We're excited to back Chorus as they bring much needed innovation to safety-critical sectors, and we look forward to helping them scale their impact across the UK and beyond."
